On Thursday, 23 May 2024, the Border Focal Point Network hosted the 18th episode of the 'Beyond Borders' Breakfast Debates series, focusing on “Insights into cross-border primary and secondary education.”
This edition delved into the challenges and opportunities of cross-border education for children.
